Please recall that since he wasn't there, Alex was typing stuff into IRC 
that was not in sync with the verbal conversation, but rather were 
responses to what had been scribed.  So, your quoted passage is a 
non-sequential non-sequitur.

A more accurate reading of the minutes would be:
[[
shepazu: MSIE considered novel syntax...
...
pdengler: MSIE 9 hsa no plans for this, its for later. first we need to 
rationalise and unionise many things
]]

In other words, as I understand it, the IE team does not plan to pursue 
parsing beyond that defined in the HTML5 spec, for IE9, and that any 
such differences would happen through coordination between the SVG and 
HTML WGs.
